Standard accessible data services

if the expected requirement is greater than 1TB, for every additional 1TB a one off charge of £1,000 will be applied.

this standard accessible storage is accessible from a browser using https, or through Windows (XP or 7) Linux and Apple Max OSX (all using CIFS or SMB1 or SMB2 protocols)

this file service is developed to ensure continual security of information: 2 copies of the files are kept, the service is maintained with security patches and malware (virus) protection, and backups are maintained for active data.

External file stores

researchers should identify any subject specific repositories they may want to place data in.

IT is not able to safeguard service data held in external data repositories. It is therefore important that all curated data should be held at the University of Nottingham in addition to external repositories.
